The Return of Tarzan book summary
Having renounced Jane Porter and his claim to be Lord Greystoke, Tarzan sails for France, where his strength and jungle instincts set him against two Russian schemers, Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch. In Paris he shields Countess Olga de Coude from their plots, is drawn into a duel and becomes a French government agent sent to Algeria to watch a suspected officer, Lieutenant Gernois. Thrown overboard on a voyage south, he swims ashore on the African coast where he grew up, becomes chief of the Waziri, a warrior people, and with them reaches the gold of Opar, a ruined city ruled by the high priestess La, while a shipwreck casts Jane and William Clayton onto the same coast. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s 1915 sequel to Tarzan of the Apes is a fast-moving tale of intrigue, survival and lost cities, its hero torn between civilisation and the wild.
